Does Every Woman want this??



Hello everyone, I was just looking through the engagement session I took today, and came upon this one, it's one of my many, many favorites...isn't she beautiful!!

I started to think, does every woman want this of themselves, but we're to afraid to ask? I want this, When I'm taking pictures, I'm always looking to make someone feel like they're so much more than they think they are...Of course, Ashley knows she's pretty, but did she know she was this incredible!! I'm sure Chad is gonna go nuts over this....but would she even get this picture?? And if a woman has this kind of picture of herself, where does she hang it?? I'd say above the bed, so when she comes in totally exhausted from her day, she'll look at it and feel so good about herself she'd, you know... have really sweet dreams :)

I'd like to know what some of you ladies think...And even you men, would you want a picture of your wife like this?? And ladies, would you be brave enough to hang it, or would you feel vain??

I want all you girls to feel like models...you're one of God's most beautiful creations!

Comments about my NEW website!

Hey Everyone! I thought I would post some of the comments I have gotten about my new website...Dorinda is a friend that I met through a photography workshop, Hey Girl!! Kyla...she's my album designer, that is just completely awesome!! And then last but not least...KARI!!! Kari is one of my brides (bass boat, and fishing poles...) I had so much fun at Kari and Brad's wedding, they had a great bunch of friends. Kari is one of the blessings I have gotten from photography...it was a job the day we met, and I have a friend for life because of it! I just love her dearly!!
I've got to work within their group of friends a few times now...a friend of mine from school~ "Lindsey" introduced me to the great folks in Concordia, A BIG SHOUT OUT TO CONCORDIA!! One of the friendliest places I've had the honor of being in...I love Concordia, it has the small town appeal that I love, and not so small that you still have a McDonald's, lol!!
Well I've got to get to work, I'm starting to get behind. Lindsey if you're reading this, I plan on posting some images from the "Senior Citizen's Prom" in a few days...hey all of you that don't have a clue, don't laugh, its' so much fun!! I think its 50 years and up, they all get dressed up ( I saw some great shoes!), they get served dinner, and then its DANCE PARTY!! Lindsey does a GREAT job with her FBLA students in planning this event, and it is such a success!! Everyone looks forward to it every year, they all have a ball! It's great to see the young generation trying to learn some dance moves from a generation that knows how to dance!! The kids also had to show the older generation how to do the Cha Cha Slide!! Okay, here's the comments I told you about, thank you to all of you that have been so gracious to me, I've got some great cheerleaders! :)

MATERNITY SESSION!!



MY FIRST MATERNITY SESSION!!!
I've had the hardest time finding someone who wants a maternity session...I've been dying to do one, and a lot of my customers (AND Sister in law!) are so concerned with stretch marks or looking fat!! I don't think I ever felt fat while I was pregnant, exhausted, but never fat!! Not any of the four times...I felt beautiful and lucky, how many times in your life, do you gain 30-50 pounds and have people telling you constantly how adorable you are, lol!! I was so happy when this sweet Mommy of 3 girls called me, and guess what..."IT'S A BOY!"
Thanks Tina for the referral~I owe you.....again!


I had a ball, and I wanted to thank her and her husband for being so easy to get along with, I hope they're as happy with their proofs as I am....I've worked on them ever since they left!! Its not very often you have a first at my age, so I wanted everyone to see just how beautiful being pregnant is, she didn't have strech marks, but I can fix them!!!
Anyone needing a belly session?? Wish I was :(

NIGHT ON BROADWAY!!

This is my daughter Sidney, making her big acting debut!!
I think she has my smile!!


The flying monkeys!!

This is one of the biggest nights in Polo!!

HAIRSPRAY!!



WHAT A TEAM!!!









LOOK AT ALL OF THESE KIDS!!
THEY WERE AWESOME!!!


My little performer!!




Does anyone know who this hottie is??


WICKED!!!!!








CONGRATS To the Boosters and KATIE!!
What a huge success!! You should all be proud, from the youngest to the oldest, Congratulations on a job very well done. I enjoyed this year so much more than last year. Maybe because my daughter Sidney has played the Hairspray and Wicked Soundtracks for months, so I recognized and could sing along to most of the music. I just loved it!! You'll be able to tell by how many pictures I am posting, that I had a good time. Sorry they're not in order, I'm still new at this! I had a wedding in the city on Sat. night, so I missed the dinner, and was so happy to hear that they were going to have a Sunday afternoon show. Its hard when you book a year ahead, you never know what you're going to miss out on, so a BIG THANK-YOU to whoever brought up the Sunday show!! I always hate missing out on anything my girls are involved in, and this time I didn't have too! Okay, I have to spotlight my flying monkey! She's gonna die when she sees this on here, but I just had to do it Sid!!
Again, to all involved~ WELL DONE!!

New website!!

Okay, those of you that know me are probably thinking...no way! She'll never be able to do a BLOG, there is no way she can just say a little about this, and a little about that. Well, you're probably right, but I'm gonna try.

The whole reason for this blog, is so I can spotlight a few of my sessions, and keep you up to date with what I'm up to. There is no way I can get every family, senior or bride on my website, but I still want them all to feel just as important...so what better way to do it than a blog.

I'm sure this will be just one more thing that I will fall behind on, (that's the way I do things, big heart, big intentions, but not enough of me to go around) I will try to spotlight each session as soon as I see that I have a favorite, so you'll have to check in on me...but be patient :) This is totally new to me~ I like reading the daily or weekly blogs of some of my favorite photographers, and you get a little addicted to them....but I think that's the whole point.

Let me know what you think of my new website, I've worked really hard on it for the past month. Come back and visit~Talk to you soon!!
